Hi everybody,
Several local teams are still alive in the Little League/Big League baseball and softball. Most of these teams are playing in Cheboygan, Bay City, Jackson, Tecumseh, etc... Others have advanced to playing in other states. Consequently, I can't get cameras out to cover them like I could the past few weeks when all the games were unfolding within a 60 mile radius of Grand Rapids.
The best I can do is get the scores on my ticker each night. This is where I need your help. If you are following your teams, please call our score phone each night with final scores. I will retrieve those scores and make sure they appear on our ticker each night.
Believe me, if these games were still being played here in West Michigan I'd be covering as many of them as I could, but it's just not possible for me to send cameramen 3-5 hours away and get those highlights back in time to put on TV.
The response I have received for our little league coverage this summer has been positive and I can assure you that Fox 17 will expand our Little League coverage next year.
Regards,
Brent
